What a little beauty he was! I'm so sorry about Oliver and what he went through at such a young age. You did the most you could and making those decisions are always very hard no matter what- hard to know what to do. You gave him all of your love and he felt it. He was not doing well and you...

I had this happen to my cat Gem after she had 4 teeth pulled. She was lethargic and I had to spread food on my hand to get her to eat. This went on and on. She was given a convienia shot - and it stays in their system for up to two months which I wasnt told, and would never use again.-it can...

I agree that some cats will live to an old age on just dry food- I remember a friend just feeding her cat dry Little Friskies- her cat lived to be 20. Thats what they had then, and I don't think there was any information on nutrition from vets- which is still the problem today. When my cat got...

My little Gem in 2007 maybe 5 mos old, and new kitten Robin 4 1/2 mos 1/2mos

I know this is an older thread but I also wondered the same about my cat Gem who passed in August at 13 1/2- heres one of my favorite pictures of her-taken a few years ago. She was the sweetest cat smartest cat- followed me, talked to me. They are wonderful cats.

When my cat Gem was a kitten I played with her water to get her interested - she ended up being a big water drinker but her diet was primarily dry with some wet. When I brought my new kitten Robin home the shelter had given us some dry- I saw her drink then. Now that shes on all wet I never see...

New Kitten Robin loves the drops after my shower

I know its hard to figure out- its new to me because I free fed my cat Gem who died in August SD with some wet everyday. In the end I blame the SD with all of its fillers for her digestive issues, and always wonder if she had been only wet- not free fed would she still be with me. I did want...

I adopted a kitten a few months ago -she is now 8 mos. I noticed ( and I had noticed this with my other cat Gem) that the kibble made her poop really stinky and she had gas. It may be whatever additives are in the food.Even though I was feeding her good brands- grain free- sometimes they put...

Yes eating is the most important thing! The vet gave me food as well which Gem wouldnt eat so I just started trying different kinds of wet food until she liked the Wellness turkey mince- which is cubed, so looks most like kibble. Besides the emergency vet I got no guidance. The vets I had didnt...

Also just to add from what I've read and experienced- its inflammation so I gave her a limited ingredient wet food that she hadn't had before -turkey. It should be gentile on their digestive system. They also recommend novel proteins like duck, lamb.

My cat Gem had pancreatitus after having teeth pulled. She was a rollercoaster with food after the dental, convenia shot(which I blame). She had been throwing up, and then cried in her litter box -had bloody stool. We took her to emergency vet they said she had pancreatitus. One of the vets said...

What a hard story! You are a wonderful father!

Thank you, losing Gem was a killer, I still talk to her every day. I've known a few people that have had torties and they have lived longer than any other cats I've known- 20 years. Was the the shelter you adopted from Felines Inc. on Devon? Now called Felines and Canines. They've been around...

- New kitten Robin

I'm so glad you took Simon in - he really did have a rough beginning, and being outside he had to toughen up so maybe thats the reason behind him taking charge. Heres another picture of Gem in her box before she got sick and our

My tuxedo Gem was my first kitten and we were incredibly bonded. She was the sweetest cat, mild mannered, invented her own games, told us to go to bed- her favorite time with us- did "shakey tail" under the covers, sat in her cardboard box on the couch with us at night, and was just a great cat...

I'm still wondering if he has food allergies if he's just throwing up- had a large hairball so maybe he's over grooming which can be caused by food allergies or stress, stress from illness- what about his teeth? I read articles by two vets on nutrition you might want to check into. Lisa Pierson...

Its a horrible drug, and I'm so sorry about Angie, it not acceptable.The first time Gem got convenia the vet just gave it to her without asking me- when she had the nail grown into her pad. I have panicked emails to the vet because Gem was vomiting but no mention that convenia potentially caused...

Hi, yes I've told everyone I know and will report. I'm thinking of handing flyers to the pet stores I use to post. Happy New Year to you and yours, and thank you for your kind words!
